Literary Locations: Bath, Wessex and London, England
The English Department has extended its deadline for applications to its May study abroad in England. If you’re an English major or a fan of the novels of Jane Austen, Thomas Hardy or John Fowles, this is the trip for you. You will read the novels and then spend time in the resort town of Bath, Lyme Regis (familiar to fans of Austen’s Persuasion), the Wessex countryside, and finally, London.
Please note that students accepted to the program will need to attend the accompanying course on the Columbus campus (Tu/Th 12:45-2:05). If you’re very interested but cannot make the drive every Tu/Th, let me know and I’ll inquire about remote access options.
The campus and university offers numerous scholarships to cover the program fees associated with study abroad, and financial aid can be used as well. Details and information on scholarship opportunities for study abroad are here and in the program description: Lit Locations Info Sheet. Come see me if you have questions (245 Warner).
